Circular Letter Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Malwurf 

Cover art for Circular Letter lyrics by Kevin Ayers

This song is about an amorphous group of homosexuals inviting Kevin to become homosexual. He takes on a Lou Reed pastiche for the song. The ancient Greeks, who in popular culture are notorious for their homosexuality, considered the circle the most perfect shape, because all points on the circle are equidistant from the center, but more importantly because an object travelling in a circle will cover the same ground infinitely, always returning to its beginning. Kevin stresses the importance of being complimentary--NOT being congruent, in relationships (versions of the same old coin, tautological, the same thing again) I especially like the ecological part.
